Epsom Salt is magnesium sulfate combined with magnesium oxide, sulfuric acid, and water, and was discovered in Epsom England in 1618 by a farmer named Henry Wicker. It has been used for centuries to heal sore muscles & joints and for its numerous restorative and relaxing properties. When we soak in a tub of epsom salt (or a float tank with 1,000 pounds of it) our body absorbs the magnesium and sulfates through our skin and allows the absorption of these elements at a much higher bioavailability than ingestion. Magnesium is the 4th most abundant element in our earth, but it is estimated that 67% of the American population is magnesium deficient. This is due to over farming our soil and depleting the levels of magnesium available before it can be replenished and the increasing amount of food that becoming available for us to eat is processed foods. Symptoms of deficiency includes fatigue, weakness, insomnia, anxiety, muscle spasms, high blood pressure, and sugar cravings.

Magnesium is one of the most underrated minerals and plays such a vital role in our biology. Here are a few reasons why it is so important:

Magnesium regulates the contractility of the heart

Magnesium is an anti-immflamatory

Responsible for over 300 regulatory and digestive enzymes

Can help prevent diabetes, by aiding in the production of insulin

Can prevent heart attacks, heart disease, and stroke

60% of magnesium is found in our bones and responsible for bone tensil strength and also increases calcium absorption

25% of magnesium is found in our muscles tissue

Converts to nitric oxide in the body which helps dilate blood vessels, aids with erectile dysfunction, and deliver nutrients to the body

Can help regulate symptoms of asthma

These are just a couple of additional reasons why spending an hour (or two, or three) in the float tank can benefit your overall health and wellness.
